What Fox News says about the Wee Wee is definitely more worthy of prosecution by my office than a harmless case of voter intimidation by some Black Panther Brothers against some evil and stupid Crackers.

I'm thinking abuse of process or wrongful civil litigation responses to the EEOC based on ulterior motive.

"Forced to work without a contract?" Presumably, she chose to work without the contract as a temporary basis likely under the terms of the previous contract. It's not ideal, but it is often used until there was a new agreement.

Also, what are the damages? She signed a contract.

One would think that Greta Alexander is living proof that Fox does not discriminate because of age, sex, looks etc.

A firing case involving a media enemy? Full steam ahead.

Actual voter intimidation during a presidential election by Black Panthers? No need to look at that.

The EEOC is seeking unspecified monetary damages and a court order preventing the network from making similar retaliation against other employees.

Monetary damages to... who? Another Obama/SEIU slush fund?

Example of the communists control over America. We are toast and if you think not then inform me. Even if we take the Senate and House reversing the communists agenda will cause riots from the anti-Americans and the insane that make up at least 1/3 of America.

Extremely unusual step, most people have to bring these cases by themselves, the government almost never gets involved.

The title is a bit misleading. This woman had to file an EEO complaint against her employer, the Fed doesn’t take action on its on volition.

But it would be sweet for Fox to investigate the EEOC which is nothing more than a corrupt affirmative action agency processing stealth reparations. That’s what they do. And since this complaint is leveled at one of the current Administrations much hated enemies no need to speculate who will win.

I think this is exactly what Rand Paul was talking about when he wished companies could run themselves the way they want to be run. As long as there’s open competition, you could have an all-female network or well, you already have an all-black cable station...

I will say that Catherine Herridge has terrible, cringe-inducing diction. Never liked her as a news reader.

it included language barring her from making more discrimination complaints

Bad move by Fox, not to mention being of dubious legality.

It’s perfectly obvious that she’s being discriminated against because she is not blonde.

Get some Miss Clairol, sweetie.

Very disappointing story... I always liked Catherine and I always liked/thought that Fox had a very tight-knit family of journalists and reporters.

My guess is the Feds are hopping into this hoping that they can wreak some havoc within the FoxNews newsroom between now and election day. This Admin is desperate.

She donated part of her liver so that her infant child would survive a few years ago in Pitts. They both are doing well last I heard

Fox (and many other news channels) is great for the eye candy. I have seen this woman report many times and she seems like a quality tele journo.

She might be pulling the female card though

This is, obviously, a contract dispute between Catherine Herridge, who I always considered a credible reporter, and her employer, Fox News.

This is really unfortunate and while Herridge's discrimination complaint that alleged, in her perception, only attractive, young, blond reporters get choice assignments at Fox News, she is in a business where appearance and 'personality' are serious considerations for promotion. She isn't a newspaper reporter but a person who is judged by her overall appeal to a wide audience and that includes more than simply telling some facts into a camera. I could do that and so could millions of others. No big deal.

Does anyone really think that Meghan Kelly (age 39) has risen fairly rapidly in the Fox News organization just because she has blond hair? Get real. Gretchen Carlson is 44 and has been quite successful at Fox News. Martha MacCallum is 46, the same age as Catherine Herridge, and is very popular with Fox News viewers. Juliet Huddy is 40 and still a rising star at Fox News. Jennifer Griffin, 41, is not a beauty pageant type but a solid reporter - and a staple at Fox News. I could keep listing female Fox News reporters/anchors but I believe the point has been made.

If Catherine Herridge feels discriminated against, she should have never agreed to work at Fox News without a contract in 2008. She should have left the network and then filed her complaint, which I think is baseless. Herridge obviously has little charisma, the indefinable essence of what makes anyone on TV popular. Some have it, some don't. Herridge had a nice slot as a reporter on what is quickly becoming the major news network in America and she chooses to throw it away with a frivolous complaint because she thinks she deserves more than she gets at Fox News.

Well, almost every employee anywhere thinks they deserve more than they get, be it in their position and/or their financial compensation. Fox has a right to assign reporters as they deem best for the network. Catherine Herridge didn't have to renew her contract if she felt she was being slighted. Her complaint to the EEOC is just feeding into the Obama administration's insane vendetta against the one TV network that actually questions Obama's policies and offers critical analysis of his administration.

Some Fox News commentators are sharply opposed to much of what Obama stands for (socialism writ large). Obama, pampered and praised his entire life, obviously can't deal with criticism and is attempting to lash out and, if he can get away with it, do harm to Fox News via federal agency rules and restrictions. He will fail and this attempt to damage a reputable news organization flies in the face of fairness and decency. It will hurt Obama and his political party a lot more than it will hurt Fox News. Too bad Catherine Herridge is on the wrong side.
